The Commission’s agenda says that they will be voting on whether or not to enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the Calhoun County Consolidated Dispatch Authority to move the center; the current backup center is located in the Battle Creek Police Department building, but since that building is set to be demolished it needs a new home.

The Dispatch Authority says Battle Creek’s Fire Station 1 is the ideal location, since it meets their requirements: it has space for dispatch use, it has a backup generator, and is an appropriate distance away from the main Dispatch Center in Marshall.

The City says that they are "amenable" to the chance, since it provides a benefit to the public. There would be certain costs associated with the move, but the Dispatch Authority says they will cover all costs.
